What differentiates Slack from other similar products?

The ability of Slack to have instant messaging which helps to perfectly organize work teams is surprising. I think that one of the characteristics that makes the difference of Slack, compared to other platforms, is that Slack has the ability to handle everything through commands, with the "#" sign. With commands you can do everything, from creating a chat channel, to expelling a member of a channel. These commands make Slack much easier to use and aid in the quick management of all chat channels.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

One of the things I like the most about Slack is that this platform has a unique design and organization for all channels, this way I can communicate with all work teams quickly and without confusion. Another feature that I like about Slack is that it works in real time, the messaging is instant, each message sent will be received instantly by the other recipients, which helps to communicate fluently at all times. I thank Slack for running in real time and allowing me to communicate faster than other platforms.

What do you dislike most about this product?

One of the things that I find really negative about Slack is that notifications in the mobile phone application take a while to be received, which makes it difficult for me to know when some messages are sent within the connections. chat of work teams. Currently, the notifications in the computer version work great, but the problem is in the mobile application, I think it should be solved as soon as possible to establish an improvement in the general operation.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

The main reason why I would recommend Slack is because it is a platform that will help to quickly boost and improve the general communication of a company or work team, thanks to its ability to process messages quickly, it maintains a perfect end-to-end communication Furthermore, team chats are diversified, images, documents and all kinds of files can be sent. Slack has what it takes to ensure that all work teams improve their productivity, by keeping them connected continuously. I would recommend it for any company without a doubt.
